Oil Drip Pan?

[IndyGunworks]

anybody have a source for LARGE drip pans... I want one to put under my tractor to catch the drips so they don't mess up my concrete floor or run around the shop and end up getting messy/slippery.

Go to your local NAPA.

Will this work?

Price seems right.

that's pretty darn close and will probably work... ideally I would have a 36x60 inch pan.

Engine, trans and diff- all three? I'm almost in a position to judge.

I think its a power steering leak because I didn't replace that seal, but the part of the tractor that's leaking is from the 70's and its not worth the expense to stop the leak.... its a very slow leak possibly in two places, but it would be nice to catch ANY drips regardless of where they might come from.

I have been there, done that. Go to a heating cooling guy and give him the dimensions you want and in about 10 minutes he will make one. Even cheaper if you solder the corners yourself.

Never thought about the HVAC people... that's a pretty good idea.

......You like ta.......complicate stuff......don'cha?.......

It'a mortar/concrete tub......case yer wunder'n.....up ta 75" long.....3' or better wide........30-35 bux fer the poly 1's.....

The concrete tubs work for LOTS of things.

Throw some cat litter in the bottom to soak up the oil, and it makes cleanup up a piece of cake.

I'm a cardboard man, pick up big ole boxes behind the appliance store and staple on a pig mat. Cheap and easy.

I used a plastic pan sold at Lowes for clothes washer.

Go to menards and get the plastic pan that fits under your washer

I was going to suggest using an HVAC guy as well.

Concrete tubs are cheaper and larger.

A sheet of 3/8 plywood is your friend. Cut it to the size, and shape if needed and there you go! The sheet metal pans are flimsy and easily damaged, adding kitty litter to them now introduces another contaminate source. When/if the plywood becomes soaked it's out to the burn pile behind the barn.

what are the absorbent qualities of plywood?

it will soak with oil and swell....kitty litter in the bottom will help....
